[laughter] >> well, he is full of mitt. [laughter] he used the word "peace" three times in two sentences. he said that we don't want another iraq. it basically came down to "i am not dick cheney, i am not donald rumsfeld." i do think that the debate, while the president was more knowledgeable and more in control and command, he came across too intensely and i don't think that he got to break through that he needed in the campaign. i think he won the debate, and among independents, two-one, but i know that he got it -- don't think that he got the edge -- >> it couldn't, because while he did well in the second and third debate, nothing could overcome the first debate. he let people down, he let himself down. >> roblin and colin powell -- public and colin powell in horses barack obama. >> you have to wonder if that is based on issues or if he has a slightly d

there's a big difference between obama's foreign policy and bush's foreign policy. the civil liberties, obama in the back, now, individual circumstances that are being pointed to, i don't think they have been verified yet. and that is that individuals may do bad things. no human rights organization is saying that that was ended. on the broader foreign policy question, i think it is a huge earth shattering difference that obama is on the side of bottom-up democracy in the middle east in countries and countries, even when the dictators are allies. it is unheard of for an american president to push out an allied was a dictator because the people have turned on that person. >> tell that to ferdinand marcos >> with all due respect, i don't think that is true as well. >> you can jump in anytime. >> i don't think it was that across to turn on a dictator. >> an across-the-board policy of either administration. >> well, you had three years. dramatic circumstances in egypt and libya and tunisia. they are working on syria. it is pretty difficult as flip a switch and change eve
